Hi everybody 
I hope that I'm posting in the right section
Recently I'm having strange issues with my access point, and I can't figure out what can be the problem.
First of all my configuration.
Internet --> modem (forcibly imposed by provider, it's a Pirelli something, not sure exactly the model) --> Router (cabled only TP-Link R600VPN) --> Access Point (TP-Link W8961ND) to add wifi to the router
Everything worked just fine, but recently I'm having issues with the tablet connectivity, i.e the tablet seems not able anymore to access internet. All other wireless devices (smartphone, laptop) seems unaffected by this issue, and every cabled connection seems working fine.
The only solution to restore tablet connectivity is to reboot the router. Rebooting the access point is useless, I already tried many times with no results. Unplugging and plugging again the AP cable to the router is useless too (I thought that this could be a faster workaround because it should force the router to re-scan all connected devices, but obviously I was wrong). After rebooting the router the tablet can access again to internet, but only for few minutes. Then, again, connection is lost, and another reboot is needed.
I'm not entirely sure that the tablet is damaged, because the router reboot solve the problem. I assume that if the tablet is damaged connection will be impossible always, even after rebooting the router.
No app was recently installed in the tablet, except for the usual app updates through the play store, so I am not sure that the tablet has software issues.
No change was made in router configuration, the above hardware worked perfectly for more than one year 24/7 until few days ago when these issues appeared suddenly.
Even more strange. when I force the tablet to re-scan all wifi connections available around, the AP is correctly detected, and it says that connection is working. It just can't connect to the internet.
Finally, I also have a NAS (Synology 215j) connected to the router with ethernet cable. When the internet connection drops, the tablet is still able to access the NAS contents through the access point, and this also makes me think that the tablet is not damaged.
Can anyone suggest me a way to find who is the culprit? Maybe I should consider to buy a new router, possibly a model already provided by a wireless connectivity (so I can eliminate the access point and remove some clutter from the table)? Or maybe I should consider to get a new tablet? Both solutions are quite bad at the moment (I'm in money shortage too bad)
Thanks in advance for any help
